Answer:

y = 30200

x = -29950

Explanation:

1.)

Let x represent children and y for adults.

200x + 450y = 7,600,000

x + y = 250

2.)

200x + 450y = 7,600,000

x + y = 250

-200(x + y = 250)

-200x + -200 = -50000

200x + 450y = 7,600,000

+ -200x + -200 = -50000

——————————————-

250y = 7550000

y = 30200

x + 30200 = 250

x = -29950

Uhm so I don’t know why for children I got a negative number? The wording for this question is very weird.
